A pleasant surprise was given Mr. and
Mrs. l.. b. Baldwin at their home in
South Burlington, Monday evening, it
being the 10th anniversary of their mar
riage. About so neighbors were present
The family circle was complete, with the
exception of Miss Alice, who is in Sant-
ago, Chilli. Conspicuous among other
tempting cake upon the daintily arranged
tables were two handsome mounds each
bearing the initials of Mr.. and
Mrs Baldwin with the year of their mar
riage. After refreshments were served
Mr.. jackson Miller, with appropriate re-
marks, presented the tokens of esteem
which kind friends had bestowed, after
which Mr.. Baldwin responded in happy
manner. Among the gifts were many
beautiful pieces of silverware. After a
social evening, interspersed with music
and other amusements, the guests took
their departure, with many expressions of
pleasure that they were permitted to greet
their host and hostess on their 10th an.
niversary wedding.

TERRIBLE DEATH.
Young Man from Burlington Terribly
Mangled by the Cars Near Pittsford.

r. V. de Vaudeville of Montreal, who
has been employed in the dining room of
the Hotel Burlington for about two weeks,
was killed by the cars near Pittsford Mon
day evening. He had started for Troy
and had expressed his baggage through.
He secreted himself on the mixed train
which left here at 6 O'Clock Monday
evening under the charge of Conductor
Bates, but was not seen until after the train
had passed LEICESTER junction, when
brakeman discovered him between two
cars and allowed him to ride to Brandon
where he was put Off. But he evidently
succeeded in boarding the train again as
one OF the Pittsford section men saw a
man crouched down between two cars
His body was found by a section man
near Florence about half Il mile from
where he had been seen, terribly mangled.
There was large cut in his head, one
arm was broken and it was thought his
back was also broken. At the time of his
death he had on a suit of underclothing
belonging to Henry Harrington of the
Hotel Burlington, and it is thought he
took other articles which Mr.. Harrington
has missed.
The unfortunate young man was about
81 years DID, rather below medium size,
unmarried and of a rather rowing DISPOSE
ton.

The Bennington Suicide

The particulars in the case of Sylvester
Green who committed suicide, Saturday
afternoon at Bennington, are somewhat
peculiar. 1t is said that man named
Charles Irish, who had occasion to go to
the barn where Mr. Green was hanging
discovered him and instead of giving the
alarm or cutting him down continued his
search for something in the barn for about
ID minutes. About this time G. E. Hoad-
ly came along and Mr.. Irish went out and
told him what lie had found but caution
ed him not TO say anything to Mrs Green
about it. Mr.. Hoadly FASTENED to the
spot and found Green llfeless but the
body still warm. If these are facts they
are strange ones

The Assessors Work Completed.

The Board of Assessors completed their
labors last evening. They have 3lSs polls
on the list, 3S7 more than last year. This
large increase in the number of polls does
have been current that the assessors were
purposely emitting names from the list.
The grand list foots up about $l03, 900, an
increase of about S22 900 over last year
The increase in the property list is about

A HORRIBLE FATE.
Three Men Burned to Death in u Lumber
Shanty.

William Larocque, Frank LaFleur and
Yep. Murray, three men in the employ of
Ross & McFarane, in their upper mill at
Everton in the Adirondack woods, were
burned to death in their shanty the other
night, at about 10 o'clock. They went to
bed expecting to yet up and begin work
in the mill at midnight The woman who
cooked for them was away from the
shanty and no one can tell how the fire
originated One of the men had phthisic
and smoked paper saturated with salt
petre. Whether the fire caught from any
thing of the sort is not known. When the
fire was discovered ii was well under way
and no chance to save the unfortunate
beings was possible, and probably they
never knew what happened to them.
